Moovy is a dance film festival which will take place during Filmforum at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne. Dance films are everything other than simply filmed contemporary dance. A dance film is an intermediate hybrid of movement and film where choreography develops a relationship between the dancer and camera. Through the synthesis of dance and moving images, specific temporal and spatial structures are created which would not be possible on a real stage.
